5. Build a Wind Break

People with large areas that don't have any sort of bushes or trees, often have time with snow drifts. If this is a problem for you, using your old tree as a wind break is a good idea. Even placing it at the edge of the front porch to keep snow from drifting onto the front steps can be helpful. Small animals are also able to use this tree as a windbreak for themselves. It's a great way for them to be able to get out of the elements for a bit.
